"This is..."

"How wonderful"

That's more than I expected.

Today I came to Qingzhou Castle with Elle and Melty to dedicate a portrait of Shinsu, who had been asked to do so by Mr. Jing Soo. I also brought a globe.

For the first Western painting I saw, all Shin-soo or the people in the near future were so surprised to hear it.

"A horse. Did you draw that better?

"No, unfortunately. It was Melty who drew it."

Jing-su also kept it from Shin-soo until the painting was complete, so he's quite the tea guy, isn't he? I look delighted with Shinsu's face.

"I didn't know there was even such a thing in Nanban..."

"We've never seen a real painting either, so I can't say anything. I hear there are a lot of religious paintings over there."

The painting itself is a realistic painting, and I think the atmosphere is well portrayed by Shinsu's majesty.

The same picture may not be painted by everyone else because it has the same android, character and personality.

"I liked it. Let's reward you."

"Thank you"

Nobunaga liked Nanban's new things, but Shinsu seems to be too. Well, if you don't hate Nanban furiously, everyone seems happy with the rare things abroad.

"If you show this to the painters and the people in the capital, you'll see what they look like."

However, Shinsu said something that was going to be noisy again when she gave a nigga and a slightly meaningful grin.

We can't even talk about people, but there's a part of Shinsu who enjoys the noise, right? I guess that's why you can do it with us.

"What's that round thing over there?

"Oh, it's a map of the world"

"What is the world...?

I hear the portrait decorates the hall where you do your reputation and stuff.

Keep talking. Moving on to the globe I brought with me, but this one's hard to explain, isn't it?

I can't do this. Let Elle handle it!

It seems that some people have noticed since BC that the Earth is round in the West, but the historical fact is that it is Japan is famous for the anecdotes that Nobunaga has heard from missionaries.

".. the earth is considered round in a country far west for more than one reason"

"Hmm. Interesting."

Shinsu and the others are a little confused about Elle's theory of the Earth Sphere.

They don't think it's a lie because of our trust, but all of a sudden they say the planet is round. You won't believe it.

Well, Elle also explains it in the way he talks about the Nanban doctrine, so it's like he can't prove it's a lie or a truth.

I'm not even explaining universal gravity at the moment. I'm just telling you the general theory of this era.

"Is Ozhang so small?

"Right. Compared to Ming and Nanban, it seems small."

"Were we fighting in such a narrow land?"

"We don't need to say the obvious again, but we also have to be careful with the South Barbarians coming farther west. Especially since the Nanbian religion doesn't recognize Japanese gods or Buddhas."

If you finish explaining the globe, that's the South Barbarian explanation.

This one just seems easy to explain. I'll leave it to Elle.

Japanese religions of this era, such as religious political intervention and sectarian strife, are no less terrible than Catholicism. The danger of missionaries should be easy to understand.

It's normal to be a warring colony. Kaga, which has always been taken over by the sect, is a good example. It could be said that the world is similar when considered by warring age standards.

Well, they don't actually have the power to attack even Japan. I haven't fought Dada in over half a century.

Just the look on Shinsu's face is stiff though. I guess I expected it in my head, but does it feel like the danger of missionaries and South Barbarians hit a bad feeling?

"Your Highness. What is the" Cancer Ginger "of the Petition Certificate Temple?

He said he wasn't going to fight Oda.

"Then the petition certificate temple told us to die!?

"I don't know!

The beginning of this is that abominable Nambarian ship.

I've gone crazy since that came. Those southern barbarians who ignored me without paying the toll!

Even though they still didn't pay taxes for serving in Oda, the rest of Ise's people let the spears settle by selling the load of Nanban emigration.

But it's been in conflict with Oda for years, there's nothing just for me.

Besides, they were the only ones who didn't pay taxes at first, and even the other merchants began to ignore the eagles after the Saji Navy in the Chita Peninsula subordinated to Oda.

The Sage Navy has extended its territory to Tsushima.

I have to knock on Oda at all costs, but nobody's willing!

Hokkaido and Hexagon are profitable in business with Oda and are unwilling to contend with Ozhang. Neither does Imagawa move.

Then and against the petition certificate temple of the traditional sect, I asked Oda to work so that I could not ignore the eagle, but it ended with an unpleasant face.

We have to take the ship's toll here, even though we can't do it.

You lying bastards. Oda should be coming at Ise soon. And yet no one understands.

".. Your Highness. Why don't you just keep your head down and be reconciled?

"Oh no! Can you do that! I don't want to bow my head to such a builder!

"But not like this..."

"Grab your taxes! Not always with the Sage Navy!

My Hattori family was originally part of the Tsushima XV Party! Can you bow your head to Oda etc who took Tsushima!!

Kuh. If only it weren't for that abominable Nambarian ship...

If you get close at night, you can't sink. But if we do that, Oda might attack us.

The land of the eagle does not continue, so it does not fall in the great army, but I do not know if the Sage Navy can move.

Now is the time for Ise to become one and have to slap Oda.

"In Ozhang, both Shinsu and Nanban ships are counted on by the residents. Tsushima people seem to be making a lot of money..."

"We just have to lose that Nanban ship. You can come by storm and sink."

"My lord, you must not move in a detour."

"I know!

Cool. You got any hands on that?

I can't live like this.

――――――――――――――――――

Astronomical seventeen years.

It was noted in the Official Journal of Nobunaga that a portrait and globe by Western painting was given to Nobu-su Oda by Kuyuan Ichima.

Although portraits by Japanese paintings have been made in the past, portraits by Western paintings are said to be the first in Japan.

The author is Kuyuan Merti, a pioneer in Japanese Western painting. Her paintings, which retain diverse accolades not only in painting but also in art, are also famous for their many works.

Nowadays it's a textbook of art and history, and everyone will always have seen her paintings once.

Shinsu himself seems to have greatly liked it, and there are records that he had shown it to visitors to Chingzhou Castle as he boasted.

It should be noted that this portrait of Lord Shinsu Oda is on display at the Kuyuan Merti Memorial Museum.

It will be at this time that the globe first appears in Japanese history.

Since the globe is not particularly unusual in the West, there is some theory that Sakata and Hakata merchants and Kyushu daimyo were getting it first, but it is in this matter that the authenticity is unknown and clearly recorded.

The globe at this time is non-existent and missing, but it is also mentioned in the records other than Kuyuan Melty's paintings and Nobunaga, and it seems certain that he gave it away.

The fact that the Oda family learned about the world as soon as possible is said to have had a great impact on later history.

However, there is still a claim in the European area that the Kuyuan family unnecessarily demeaned Christianity, and the debate goes hand in hand with the theory that the Europeans who were in the Kuyuan family were displaced from Eastern Rome and that they were a knowledge layer oppressed by Catholicism.

It should be noted that in the Japanese area missionaries are summed up in a relatively calm argument that it has nothing to do with the European invasion abroad.

Although the vast majority of people are not even interested, especially since we rarely see Christianity itself in the Japanese area.
